Abstract

Recently, pepper spray has been used by both civilians, as a non-lethal personal defense spray, and law enforcement agencies in population movements. People exposed to pepper spray experience panic and disorientation due to acute severe pain, blepharospasm, tearing and sometimes blurred vision and even temporary blindness. Having knowledge about the properties and mechanism of action of pepper spray and the different aspects of this exposure from other ocular chemical injuries is important for timely and correct interventions and appropriate management of the condition by the ophthalmologists in emergency care.

Özet

Son yıllarda biber gazı, hem siviller tarafından öldürücü olmayan bir kendini koruma spreyi olarak, hem de kolluk güçleri tarafından toplumsal gösterilerde kullanılabilmektedir. Biber gazına maruz kalan insanlar, akut olarak şiddetli ağrı, blefarospazm, göz yaşarması ve kimi zaman bulanık görme ve hatta geçici körlük nedeniyle panik ve dezoryantasyon yaşamaktadırlar. Biber gazınının özellikleri, etki mekanizması ve bu maruziyetin diğer oküler kimyasal hasardan farklı yönleri hakkında bilgi sahibi olunması, oftalmologların acil yardım ve uygun tedavi konusunda zamanında ve doğru müdahalelerde bulunabilmeleri için önemlidir.
